1 So the king and Haman came to feast with Queen Esther.

So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

2 And the king said again to Esther on the second day during the wine banquet, What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted to you: and what is your request? It shall be fulfilled, even up to half of the kingdom.

And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.

3 Then Queen Esther answered and said, If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be spared at my petition, and my people at my request:

Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

4 For we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to perish. But if we had been sold as slaves, I would have remained silent, although the enemy could not compensate for the king's loss.

For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.

5 Then King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, Who is he, and where is he, that dares presume in his heart to do so?

Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?

6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.

And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

7 And the king, arising from the wine banquet in his wrath, went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to plead for his life to Queen Esther; for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.

And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

8 Then the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the wine banquet; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, Will he also assault the queen before me in the house? As the words came out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

9 And Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said before the king, Behold, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, stands in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him on it.

And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.

10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's anger subsided.

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
